4 day 3 night Camping Safari, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti
I found Face of Africa online and contacted Hamadi to book. You transfer 30% of the cost in advance and then pay the rest on arrival. As I was on a low budget I joined a group of other people on a camping safari. Hamadi arranged my airport transfers, picking me up the day before the safari and returning me after. It was an amazing experience, we saw everything including leopard, rhino, lion, elephants, giraffes etc. Camping was a unique experience, especially in the Serengeti where you could hear the animals! It was awesome in the morning waking up and being able to see elephants without moving from the campsite. It was cold camping in Ngorongoro so if you book this trip make sure you take a good sweater! The chef was really good and kept us well-fed the whole time (thank you Isaac). The guide, Juma, answered all of our questions and was able to show us everything we wanted to see. Overall I loved it and I haven't stopped boring my friends and family with all my photos yet! I'd definitely recommend Face of Africa Adventures :)

Amazing Experience!!!
We booked the safari with Face of africa adventures and everything went well! we did 4 days/3nigths on a budget safari.
before going everything was correctly organized via email and whatsapp. the replys were very quickly.
We loved our guide Abdula, was a father to us! And Gideon, what an excellent cooker! he did everything with one grill. the food was very good, very "continental", a lots of food, actually! we saw a lot of animals, Abdula explain everything to us and add a lot of patient. We recomend to everyone! In the end, Hamadi, the company owner, went with us to a local restaurant in Arusha and we tried a lot of typical food. Want to go back! Thank you for everything!!! :)

Well planned and executed family safari
After a bit of online research we contacted Hamadi at Face of Africa Adventures to help plan a safari for my wife, 8yr old son and me. Hamadi was very patient and helpful in recommending various lodging options and game drives to meet our desires. After putting together a plan that met our budget Hamadi provided a long list of previous clients as references before the down payment was made and there was nothing but rave reviews. The end result was a perfectly executed safari, from Hamadi and George (our guide/driver) meeting us at the airport to our game drives in Serengeti/Ndutu (saw the great migration), Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire and the private Manyara Ranch Conservancy (where we sat 10m from to a pride of lions, with 2 cubs in an open vehicle having a sundowner for over an hour).

Awesome 8 day Safari
We had a great private 8-Day Safari in Tansania. Hamad came to pick us up from the airport and anwered all of our questions that came in to our mind. We boooked a group safari but the others didn't showed up. So we did get a private tour through the 5 Nationalparks. Hamad had planed out every of our wishes very well so we got to stay one night in a lodge as well as to get up to the north of the Serengeti. Thanks to our guide Nicko we even got to see the big migration what was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The End of July already was the end of the migration but our guide did everything possible to find them. We had a greate time!

3 days safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro
Hamadi and Rama, our tour guide, are very nice and friendly people, they accomodated our wishes until the very last minute. I organized the safari with Hamadi asking for specific places to stay, and he found great prices in the places I wanted!
The safari went smoothly, and Rama explained us a lot of things about animals and the parks!
I would definitely recommend them and even book again with Face of Africa adventures!

Amazing nature and beautiful people
Despite the very last minute reservation, Face of Africa was able to arrange an amazing 3 days trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, being ready to adapt to changes and doing their best to satisfy our needs! well done guys! Highly recommended!
The most beautiful experience
It was one of the best experiences in the hands of professionals who knew the whole African environment and our guide could speak Spanish, thanks to that I was able to increase my knowledge about African fauna and wildlife. I had the opportunity to see all the animals you imagine, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, zebras, etc.
The service is excellent, the tour is long but thanks to the good company it becomes very fun. The people are very friendly and nice. On the food I have no complaints, the cook offered us international food with an African twist. Finally we finished with a good taste. The price is worth it, I recommend 100% this company.
I would repeat this Safari, thank you very much, Hammad, congratulations on your great work!

Excellent service and hospitality!
We picked only one-day safari to Ngorongor crater and although it was very short and budget option, we are extremely happy to choose Face of Africa Adventures service. First of all all staff including the owner (greetings to you Hamadi) were very friendly and helpful regarding creating itinerary and they did everything what was needes to make our experience unforgetable.
Even though we choose one-day safari, Hamadi offered us accomodation for the night before safari in a logde next to the crater so that we didn't need to spend time (ca. 2,5 h driving) for getting to crater on the safari day but we did it previous day and spent night in camp which was an unusual experience itself.
The service was great. Everything was as agreed before. Since they have many options for safari, from budget to luxury ones I surely recommend this company for all kind of travelers, who wish to have unforgetable experience among wild animals in Tanzania! Thank you a lot.

Unforgettable experience with Face of Africa adventures
My fellow volunteers and I decided to go on a safari, we had spoken very well of this company and it was certainly the best choice, we were very happy!
We were with a very friendly and fun guide / driver who spoke Spanish, was explaining everything we wanted to know: about the Masai culture, life in Tanzania, the animals in the park (he has very good view to locate them), prices fair in souvenir shops.... Also the food that made us the cook was also very good and varied!
We went to the 3 most important parks (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) in 4 days and we camped in very nice places!
I could explain many more things but it is better that you live yourselves :)
Anyone who wants to live a nice experience I recommend Face of Africa adventures

Amazing
Awesome:
The treatment, the friendliness, the flexibility and the good service.
We arrived in Kilimanjaro after a lost flight and another canceled, Hamad, the director of this company, traveled from Arusha to the airport (1 hour by car) three times, the first two failed, and when we arrived we found his huge smile and a Welcoming welcome.
Our bags arrived a day after our landing, the safari started the following morning and there was no problem in postponing it until we had our luggage, in addition, Hamad was in charge of bringing it to the hotel where we were staying.
The day we spent waiting for our bags, Hamad offered to take us on a tour of Arusha and showed us the city from below, we were at the local market, he explained many curiosities and how is the life of the local people and took us to to visit a museum.
We started the safari with a driver (guide) and a cook, everything worked out great. We saw the big five, a lioness hunting in Serengueti, we slept in some dream places and the food of our chef was great (especially the soup, from which he gave us the recipe).
We were also very lucky with the company, a couple of Australians and another from Poles with whom we had a good time and ended up making friends.
At the end of the safari, our volunteer work began and almost every night we stayed with Hamad for a beer, dinner or dancing in the city. We had a great time!!
In short a 10 for Hamad, a 10 for his workers and a 10 for his company.
I hope you have my humble opinion to decide on the company Face of Africa and enjoy its innumerable advantages.
Greetings travelers!
